If you have any requests, comment here. Write as many of the following as you know: title, artist, series (if applicable), CD name. Also, as I try to begin every translation with the booklet scans for reliability, it would be nice if you could provide them or direct me to them if they’re not easily obtainable. Otherwise, I’ll probably just default to transcriptions from Uta-Net and the like.

I can’t necessarily guarantee that a requested translation will come out promptly, but hey, you won’t know until you try. Keep in mind that I work primarily on what I like, so if it’s by an artist or from a series that you can tell I enjoy, your chances are good. A request is never completely dropped unless the translation becomes unnecessary.

You should know that I almost never translate songs that have not yet been released on CD. I prefer to work from the original booklet scans or other more-or-less official lyrics sources to ensure that things come out right.

A note on anime songs: I generally prefer to work on anime songs for series that I’ve actually seen – knowledge of the source material often makes my translation more accurate and easier to make, as does actually caring about the context. If you don’t mind the risks of misinterpretation and delay, though, feel free to request anyway – I probably won’t take it up immediately, but at some point, I might. You can see which series I’m familiar with in the MyAnimeList link on the right.

I will make periodic announcements when I pick up and decline stuff. For records, see the “Site Announcements – Requests” category. For inactive requests, see the “Request Archive” subpage in the right sidebar.

Hello
I have a request too.
I found your blog because of your translation of AnoHana opening song – Aoi Shiori. Thank you for that!
I am writing here now because I have a request too. May I tell you more titles and when you have time try to translate them.
I have tried myself translating them and stuck at some phrases or words, sentences that I haven’t come across earlier and they caused trouble. Also I can’t tell when the singer is talking about himself or when about someone else. :)
I will be glad if you can make the translations so I can later make comparison and learn from you.

or this is the original version not on youtube

(I used Google Translator to Romanize the names for the arranger and the people behind the lyrics, so you might be out of luck if you try looking for them due to errors. Afraid and Fatal Bite have no Japanese names and The Rose-killing Carmilla is the actual English name, the Romanized versions of the symbols was my doing in Google Translator. As for the last song, I really don’t know what the English title is for it nor what the Romanized version of the Japanese is. Sorry.)

This took a while to type and I tried being as specific as possible, so I hope it all wasn’t in vain.

Yes, but I’m kind of going through a block at the moment. Things in general are just progressing in very small increments, and it’s hard for me to focus on any one thing long enough to fansub effectively. Hopefully I should be able to pull myself out of the slump by the end of the year, though.

I hope you can translate these following songs from Choshinsei. I provided some info from the CDs booklets. I don’t have good enough scans or pics of the booklet though. I don’t know if it’s too detail but I hope is helpful. ^^

Id really appreciate it if you could once again try and traslate the song: Sea of oblivion distract truly adabana, from Umineko no naku koro ni by Niira Etsuko. Ive been looking and waiting a long time but no translation has been made for it. So if you can find the time please traslate it.

I requested this song be translated before, and you directed me to your friend, who specializes in Touhou songs. However, he is very busy and my request has been lost after he cut the amount down to 15, so my only hope for getting this song translated lies with you. If you could do this, I would be very, very grateful.

Hey I know you are kinda busy right now and not really able to do something, but I would like you to consider translating the Opening/Ending of Shin Sekai Yori “Wareta Ringo” once it is released. Really loving this song. (Especially in combination with the outro-video of the second episode.)

Also didn’t get the chance to congratz you to the 3 year existence of this blog. I still think you are one of the best lyric-translators on the web. Thanks for giving your hobby so much love.

Haha, I was just going through my email, and I just realized that I completely missed this comment – I didn’t even know it was a request when I decided to do it. I’d just watched all of the episodes that had been released at the time, and I came to love the song on my own.

Hello there! Firstly, I have to thank you for translating the songs by School Food Punishment. I’m a fan of this group, and my favorite song from them has got to be butterfly swimmer. I don’t think a lot of people know this song, so I was extremely elated to see the translated lyrics on your website. Oh, and Wareta Ringo is also one of my favorites, so thank you for translating that as well.

Your translations are always the best. I don’t know how accurate they are since I don’t know Japanese, but the way you phrase your words..well, they sound so pretty. I always visit your website to look for translations to a song before I actually go to Google. :D

If you don’t mind, can you translate Love Letter from Nanika? by ecosystem? The album is Love Letter from Nanika? (Single), from what I know. It’s the OP of the anime Chōyaku Hyakunin isshu:Uta Koi. I really love the song but I couldn’t find good translations of it on the internet.
If not, maybe Shiki no Uta by Minmi (ED of Samurai Champloo)? The album’s name is Ai no Mi / Shiki no Uta (Single).
Shiki no Uta is a really beautiful song. I don’t know if you would like it, but I badly want to know what the lyrics mean. There are other translations out there, but they seem to be incomplete or inaccurate.

I download my songs from anime-mp3.com, so if you like, please go ahead and get these songs from the website. The scans of the lyrics for Love Letter from Nanika is there, but there isn’t any for Shiki no Uta. I apologize for that. To make things easier for you, here are the Japanese lyrics for Love Letter from Nanika? ~>

I hope it’s clear enough.

*looks at the amount of translation requests (especially from…)* Uh. Don’t worry about rejecting my request if you really don’t have enough time.

Hi!!!!
I have a petition for you. It is a similar project, like SFP, but with another great band, called Meine Meinung. I think you’ll like them too!
I could provide you all the Lyrics (from the very authors).
You could listen them for free in their band camp site:

Hello, I was wondering if you could find the time to eventually translate the last untranslated character song for To Aru Majutsu no Index: Himegami Aisa’s song. The title is Shuuen wa Dochira aka Owari wa Dochira. The video is here:

All that’s left is the english translation of the lyrics. This is literally the only character song I cannot find english lyrics for. Online translators are really awful so you’re about the only one I can turn to. I hope you decide to take on this project. Thank you for your time.
